tis very, but by the look of it pivot is in the wrong place, if full you would need to lift 2 thirds of a drum of oil to tip it at least plus added ironwork to sides of drum

what would that be in ltrs? 130 ltrs? plus the 3rd third of oil at top

also you may need 2 people one to tip and one to hold/move bucket around to get in right place, more you tip the pour zone area moves.

Interesting idea in principle but still looks hard to use (for tipping and co-ordinating not spilling).

Pumping is still the best way by far!

I seem to remember seeing something very similar (but not as pretty) in your back garden Julian.

If you think Julians is not pretty you should have seen mine ! ! ! I let the scrap man take it when I moved... even the steel was not worth keeping !

Sorry Julian, all I meant was that I always remember feats of engineering excellence no matter how well they are disguised.

Works great on smooth concrete, but is a bugger on those cobbles and sinks to it's axles in a wet lawn!
